Title: Asus Case?
Post by: radiocycle on July 27, 2013, 10:14:59 AM: I'd like to hear from anyone that has the Asus case for their new 7. From the looks of it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Nexus-Official-Travel-Cover/dp/B00DY3J966 (http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Nexus-Official-Travel-Cover/dp/B00DY3J966)

it's pretty cool like the one on my Gen 1 N7. The auto-sleep cover and all the access holes, not adding too much bulk, comes in groovy colors etc. Or maybe you found a better one?? Lemme know....

Post by: joelgeez on July 31, 2013, 05:58:46 AM: For the 1st time in my life, I succumbed and became an extra-early adopter of the new Nexus 7. Usually I wait awhile, so this is new experience. Went to BB on Sunday, picked up Nexus 7, and it's sitting at home in box because no cases or covers that I like are available yet. Anybody know how long it takes? I see the Asus Premium on the Asus site, but no way to get one. Don't see an Ottercase or anything else combining protection and aesthetics. For you who have adopted early before, how long does it take for accessories to surface?
Thanks.

I guess right now they are scrambling in China to make the new cases. I think they will only make minor adjustments to the original case as the new tablet is longer and narrower. The reviews for the Original Case from this same manufacturer is over 4.5 stars with over 1000 ratings.

Hey good job joelgeez, glad ya jumped on board! I don't think you'll be sorry and you are at the right place to pick up all the info for your new tab...

I went with the one that jimmybirdie mentioned; but I wanted purple so it was more like 3 bucks + shipping but that's still a great deal if it turns out to be a decent product. Good luck with your search and welcome to the forum!
